THE EUROPEAN PETITION AGAINST ABUSES OF DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPONS IS BEING STUDIED RIGHT NOW.

Please find enclosed the transcription of the reply by the European Parliament which gives an indication of the next steps and the names of the various Committees that received the petition.

I have the honour to inform you that the "Committee on Petitions" examined your petition and judged that the questions raised are admissible according to European Parliament Regulations, since the subject of the petition comes within the European Union's fields of activity. The Committee has therefore started the examination of your petition and decided to invite the European Commission to give its opinion on the various aspects of the problem. It will pursue the examination of your petition as soon as it has collected sufficient relevant information.

Moreover your petition will be passed on to the parliamentary committee of foreign affairs, human rights, public safety and defence politics and to the committee on civil liberties. I will let you know the results of the action taken.

Yours sincerely;
Nino Gemelli
President of the Committee on Petitions

Many thanks to all of you for signing (currently 160) and for your support, which made it possible to send this strong signal to the European Deputies. This first investigation is the direct result of this action. And it is not over yet, now we hope that measures will be taken in order to avoid and stop these criminal wrongdoings.

This e-mail is being sent to those, who have typed their e-mail address on the electronic form. Sorry if you have received this information twice but please pass it on to people you know who might have signed or might be interested but have no e-mail.

Looking forward to the next message to you, which will be sent on reception of the decisions of the parliamentary Commissions;
